Done!

Just back from the last Star Wars film. Like the others, my first impression is good. Unlike the other two previous films, i think this one will remain good, rather then slide into suck-ness. That's not to say that it was perfect, or the best one or anything like that, but it was good. Some of the CG scenes are so rich in detail, it actually is a bit overwhelming. The space battle scene at the beginning didn't have me wishing that they still used miniatures. The love story bits were weak. The light saber fights were probably the weakest ones yet - shot so close and cut so quick that, while they feel kinetic, you get no sense of the flow of the fight, unlike in The Phantom Menace/Darth Maul fight. George really pulled out all the star-wars-esque scene transitions. More then any of the other films, i noticed how all the cuts were 'special'.

Its late and i could blather on for some time, so i'm going to cut it off here. I just really wanted to write something before Tony does.

In closing, this is the only one of the last 3 films that i'd go see a second time. Maybe.
